Votes are being counted off to thousands of delegates from south africas ruling party voted for the new leader the secret ballot began pos midnights in the elections seen as a decisive moment in the countrys post apartheid history Deputy President cyril rama pose a wealthy businessman and former minister and. Zuma who is president jacob zuma exwife of the two main candidates the new leader will lead the a. N. C. Into the two thousand and nineteen general election as incumbent president jacob zuma stepped down its been two hundred pages at the n. C. Convention in johannesburg where the vote counting is underway im hearing well get the results about midnight what are you hearing. Something similar jane i think nobody really. Because we had been told at the beginning of this conference that we were going to have a result by the end of sunday but of course we saw a very lengthy delays because of they needed to resolve the legal challenges effectively and that gives us an indication of just how hotly contested this leadership race is the voting has finished the counting is underway they may count twice if the result is particularly close and lets not forget also that not just counting the delegates votes for the top job of president but all top six of the. Leaders are being chosen in this one round of voting that includes the treasurer and the secretary general among others what does each of the president ial candidates often delegates choosing between. What. Was president jacob zuma as. One point four Children Together and that has played for her and against. Him if you like although it is highly criticized by many sectors of society is still very popular a very powerful man and so she has drawn on his substantial support base and shes also been able to get on board her campaign two important structures within the a. N. C. The first being the Womens League she would be the first woman president of the a. N. C. If she succeeds and also the youth league so its played for her in some senses but also against her in other ways because as we know president jacob zuma has been modern bogged down in controversy and scandal for the better part of the last ten years or so and with any truth in connections between the two of them in. The zuma surname carries with it a fair amount of baggage if you like on the other. Side of the ballot paper is to be present president obama pose that hes campaigned very strongly on an Anti Corruption message though of course hes never named his current boss jacob zuma as being linked to any of those things and hes very probusiness hes a very wealthy man a very successful businessman so a lot of people perceive that he could be the right man to get the economy back on track and ultimately for most South Africans thats what this is about whoever wins the a. N. C. Presidency is most likely to go on to be president of the country so their economic policies will have an enormous bearing on millions of South Africans who are desperate for jobs and to desperate for Economic Growth im sure it will all right tanya thank you. It is Prime Minister says a clear victory in two state elections including a closely fought race in his home state of Narendra Modi thanked voters for their trust in the ruling be j. P. On twitter the party also managed to snatch power from the Opposition Congress party in him a child pradesh to figure pollen as more from largest city matter but. The b j p may have retained power but this race was watched so closely as its being called the political fight of the century in the state of the congress has for the first time launched a campaign thats made the b j p nervous and made many believe that congress could actually win over the states but alas they fell short of seats although they have taken away seats from the b j p this also has been watched closely by the rest of the country as the countrys Prime MinisterNarendra Modi had a personal stake in the goods or rather his home state he came here personally to campaign on behalf of the b j p a loss for him would have been a loss of faith and a lack of confidence in his policies now what these elections have done is raise certain issues in the state particularly unemployment inflation and the fact. The states Economic Growth is not benefiting everyone particularly the rural population and those of low income backgrounds and the land john has written a biography of he says the result may force him to pursue populist policies bill for the first time in the last three and a half years with some of these being really seriously challenged by an Opposition Leader and it so happens that the whole gang the has just chosen this particular moment to take charge of the Congress Party so definitely the next one and a half years before elections parliamentary elections are held in the middle of two thousand one hundred is going to be a usually challenging period from some movie so its a very important because there will be several state elections in now in the parliamentary elections and in a few of these important states mr moodys party is not a challenger but the incumbent of experience from which iraq in early in the previously the smallest state of war shows that mr moody and his party is not very good at defending the states where they are in power here because theyre going in challenging the performance of an incumbent government so this is something that is going to have a bearing over the next two years in indian politics belittled definitely going to cause some of these government to be more economic leap populist in its programs hes going to look at various other schemes to move the poor he has to shed somehow the broad elite image which this government has acquired in the last three and a half years and attack them but i still at a military Training Center in afghanistans capital kabul is a gunman stormed a partially constructed building near an intelligence Training Center in the west of the city explosions and gunfire were heard there were reports of at least two attackers inside the building at least now say theyve been killed. The u. N. Security council will vote on a draft resolution regarding the status of jerusalem in the coming hours following as a u. S. Decision to recognize jerusalem as israels capital the move has sparked almost two weeks of protests around the world it was more anger across the palestinian territory overnight with protesters burning effigies of years President Trump and israels leader benjamin netanyahu. Egypt is circulating the draft resolution calling for the u. S. Recognition of jerusalem to be withdrawn it states that any decisions and actions which purport to of altered the character status or demographic composition of the holy city of jerusalem have no legal effect nolen void and must be rescinded in compliance with the relevant resolutions of the Security Council mike hanna as the details from new york. The draft resolution being circulated in the United Nations has been drawn up by egypt with input from other parties it would appear now the resolution may change in form or shape before its actually voted upon probably in the scumming day however the resolution as it stands at the moment does not mention the us by name i understand that various parties such as the United Kingdom and indeed egypt wanted to try and keep the language as neutral as possible in an attempt possibly vain to keep the u. S. From exercising its veto within the Security Council the resolution as it stands at the moment is actually a restatement of the uns position on jerusalem as outlined through decades of Security Council and general assemblies a resolution the most recent being in november this year in which the General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to declare any unilateral acts in jerusalem as null and void that phrase null and void is contained in the current draft resolution the draft resolution calls on all states to refrain from establishing Diplomatic Missions within jerusalem i understand the palestinians somewhat angered they didnt want to single out the u. S. By name however it appears from this draft resolution that egypt and the u. K. Have had their way too in attempt to avoid the u. S. Veto however it would appear that that vetoes likely to happen with israels enthusiastic backing which describes the resolution as a palestinian attempt to reinvent history despite the fact that it is rooted on u. N. Resolutions as they stand at present but palestinians making very clear that should the u. S. Veto this resolution in the Security Council they will attend to have it introduced in the General Assembly where theres nobody to at play. The Israeli Military says it has attacked a hamas training compound after rockets were fired from the palestinian territory of gaza this video is said to show the israeli air strike on the hamas facility no deaths were reported it was no response to two rockets being fired into israeli territory where no one was killed rocket strikes from gaza have increased since the u. S. Moved to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. The u. S. President is due time valleys National Security strategy in the coming hours is expected to take aim at americas jip political rivals and identify important global challenges tameka one has a story from washington d. C. Thank you very much for the you know from the outset donald trump is focused on undoing or redirecting his predecessors priorities on the world stage but his rhetoric hasnt yet been matched by measurable change generally hes followed the same policy and he may have wanted to radically change our policy toward russia but hes been unable to do that. In his National Security message mandated by Congress Trump is expected to brand both russia and china as quote revisionist powers whom america must recognize as adversaries despite drums and willingness to say a bad word about Vladimir Putin i feel that having russia in a friendly posture as opposed to always fighting with them is an asset to the world hes grudgingly approved added sanctions against russia which obama launched to retaliate for the reported cyber intrusions into the american electoral process since taking office trump has softened his campaign language about china which he did cues to economically abusing the u. S. We cant continue to allow china to rape our country. The president has escalated his verbal bluster and shows of military muscle in response to north koreas mounting nuclear threats. But a clear course of action has been muddied by friction between the white house and secretary of state Rex Tillerson a few days after he suggested talking to the pyongyang government quote without preconditions tillerson fell back in line with the administrations tougher tone our Communication Channels remain open north korea knows theyre open. They know where the door is they know where to walk through that door when they want to talk. After claiming much of the credit for ousting eisel from its strongholds white house National Security adviser ager mcmaster promised the u. S. Would prevent a fractured iraq from turning into an iranian client state we are committed to want to Work Together with kurdish leadership iraqi leadership mediate as best we can and to also limit the destabilizing influence of of others in the region but the administration has deferred action on its threat to abandon the Iran Nuclear Deal at the risk of isolation from americas western partners to the agreement. Yet trump has reversed course on one of obamas prime machinea security concerns Climate Change this despite the pentagons judgment that over time Global Warming will destabilize more governments and societies with unforeseen consequences tom ackerman aljazeera washington. Still ahead on aljazeera donald trump prepares to lay out his vision for americas National Security. Back on the streets in the election when hes declared noninjurious but calls for a rerun continues to grow plus.
